If women only make 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, that’s one more reason to elect Hillary Clinton. We’d only have to pay her $308,000 a year, not the $400,000 Obama makes.

The outside lane of Tennessee St. at Starbucks should be called an accident waiting to happen.

Mrs Way as a lifelong Floridian (48yrs) I’ll help you pack for bankrupt California, good riddance.

Two socialists leaving Florida for California…yes, the plan is working!

Just admit it Catharine, you really just needed an excuse to go back to your home state in California.

Catherine Way’s article, I need to go to California too.

Someone believing California has great governance and is the poster child for democracy must be smoking the funny stuff.

How embarrassing to find out that someone like Catharine Way was living in our wonderful state.

Someone preferring to live in California over Florida must have serious misconceptions.

Mrs. Catharine Way, I can’t wait for you to experience California either.

Florida wins a big one with Catharine Way moving to Calfifornia.

Good-bye, Catherine Way. I am glad your tickets to the bankrupt state on the left coast are one-way.

California will probably be happy to have the Mays family back to help pay for their over inflated everything. Florida didn’t become the 4th largest state because everyone wanted to go to California instead. Plus I will take Hurricanes over no warning Earthquakes,forest fires and mud slides any day.

Thanks Catharine for voicing what many of us are thinking as we’re looking to leave, especially if Floridians vote against their best interest again in November. I’m ready to enjoy a warm home in a cold winter setting, but socially and ecologically sane place next year.

So the Legislature contributed greatly to the FRS pension being funded at less than 100% because they decided to spend the surplus when it was funded at 118%. Now they want to “save FRS” by doing away with or watering down the pension system. Should anyone really trust the Legislature with the state employee’s future well being?

the photos chosen to accompany the “south side” story didn’t! they looked more like southwood!

The Legislature is now imploring the federal government to provide money for citrus greening disease while refusing federal money to provide health care for poor people. If only we could find a way to turn poor people into orange juice . . .

I see that the right-wing Christian Taliban murdered 3 people at a Jewish Community Center in Kansas.

All us Chicken-hawks are praying that the U.S. will go to war against Russia in the Ukraine — we are running low of Americans KIA.

Should you see a Fed-Ex truck barreling down the road, you betta look out — it’s gonna getcha!

So the fundamentalist Christians preach that it’s OK to kill anyone who doesn’t share your beliefs?

We should give the Ukraine nuclear weapons, and hopefully in the near future we will see mushroom-shaped clouds springing up all over the planet.

The doomsayers tell us we’ll be short of food by 2050. Well, since we process dead animals into many foods, why don’t we do the same with dead humans?

Doctors tell us this is worst allergy season in decades — Obviously it’s Obama’s fault.

Saturday’s gathering of GOTP presidential hopefuls in New Hampshire should be called “The National Gathering of Village Idiots.”

The 2 delusional idiots (Ted Cruz and his dad) need to be sent back to Cuba ASAP.

Mike Huckabee, that bigoted clown and disciple of hate, has revved up his infantile babbling against Obamacare.

How much does the city pay each year to apply for all these awards? What’s e personnel cost involved in this?

We’re paying too my many taxes if we can support both a city of Tallahassee and a Leon county government.

How long are we going to tolerate paying for two local governments– city to Tallahassee and Leon county?

Yesterday’s comment on Paul Ryan’s budget and political career is a sad commentary that tells why our country is in sorry shape.

Nole fans should be thankful the Seminole Tribe still approves of our use of the images of Osceola ,etc instead of griping about changes in the logo, considering how many high schools and colleges/universities have dropped Native American team names, mascots and logos due to political correctness.

Ending the twin statistics of “repeat teen births” and “85% of babies born to single moms” would likely go a long way to reduce infant mortality rates but government can’t do much about those two statistics.

In the old days, ball players played through injuries. Today, there are 120 major league ballplayers on the disabled list.

Of course CNN milked the flight 370 story to death. CNN will do whatever it takes to avoid discourse on the current fatally flawed administration. Ole for FOX news.

Practically everything in Joel Thornton’s letter is a lie. You publish it anyway. Just curious. Why?

The greatest effect our Legislatrure and Congress have had is to convert Republicans into Democrats.

Unlawfully enter my home and you will be able to measure my esteem for your employment in caliber.

Tallahassee Democrat editors want law abiding citizens to leave their firearms at home when ordered to evacuate rather than keeping them from CRIMINAL LOOTERS who would use them against law enforcement ?

sex is a curse in the south side. set up mobile sex education units with free contraceptives available. offer incentives to behave.

who is the incompetent who selects the zings. ryan is not a senator.

why is it that in any city the trouble is always in the south side or across the tracks.

Have you noticed the young people (and some, not so young) that can’t count change due? I’m a dinosaur, but it amazes me at the younger folks that can’t do simple math without a computer.

Anyone still wonder if their vote is as important as a billionaire’s? I wonder if the founding fathers figured the Supreme Court would sell our democracy?

Yep, people kill people, but guns make it so much easier and efficient.

I’m reminded of that song by The Village People, “Matzo, Matzo balls. I want to eat some Matzo balls.”

I don’t wake up grouchy, I let her sleep.

Um… I live in Lafayette Park and We all hear the concerts LOUD AND CLEAR. Sunday’s wasn’t as loud as Friday’s. Wish it was the other way around. I like R&B much better! Maybe the Zinger who lives a block away likes Country.

Murmurs of music and cheering from the Cascades Park concert can be heard over half a mile away (as the crow flies), yet all was quiet at a house a block away? Ah, the odd physics of sound.

Kathleen Sebelius, after years of propagandizing Obamacare’s progress, now says the timeline was “flat out wrong” and that she’d “said this many times — that the launch of the website was terribly flawed and terribly difficult.” Revisionist hindsight?

From a 1943 movie: Every man in a democracy is equal to every other man, up to the point of exertion. Then each man may put forth whatever effort he wishes. And in 2014, many just sit back, whining about not being given enough by the others.

All I can say about #11′s performance at GT this weekend is that old coaches win a baseball game occasionally even if it is by one run & poor coaching.

If Mike Martin would put as much emphasis on “opening” pitchers as he does on closers, FSU might beat the Gators.

Does anyone else NOT want to see our own Tallahassee Democrat have a top of the sports page heading that discusses anything about the Florida Gators?

Nike’s almost weekly efforts during each football season to turn the Oregon Ducks into ugly ducklings, have now, apparently, been embraced at FSU as witnessed by the new uniforms exhibited at the Spring Game.

Leggo my logo, Nike.

The proposed, now apparently official, FSU logo is a poor, computer-generated, characterization of the former, more noble, logo.

I am feeling underdressed in public with a tucked in golf shirt & boat shoes. Tallahassee proves me wrong!

I doubt Alabama would choose to remove the numbers from the sides of their helmets and replace them with elephants, even if Nike gave them money to do so.

All black and all white are not recognizable uniforms for a team whose colors are, supposedly, garnet and gold. Back to the drawing board, Nike.

The Nike swoosh’s hook is now firmly embedded in decision-making where FSU uniforms, helmets, and even the logo are concerned.

Inspired by the new FSU logo, rumor has it the Florida legislature is jumping on the bandwagon and is currently considering redesigning the state flag, replacing the red saltire with crossed bandito ammo belts.

I support the Constitutional right of all politicians to engage in an orgy of stealing, bribery and lying.

The Florida legislature should require that all science taught in public schools must be based on ignorance and superstition.

For you clueless folks, the U.S. Congress does exactly what the Oligarchy tells it to do.

I blame the parents of Gov. Ricki and Thrashin’ John for not teaching them that lying in a no-no.

When Vladimir Putin claims FSU as an university he’ll only have to change the meaning of FSU on the logo to mean Former Soviet Union and he’ll have at least 83,000 fans.

Will one of physicist at FSU please explain Einstein’s quote about insanity to the director of athletics and how it applies to baseball. Thank you in advance.

The difference between a $40 million PAC & a $12 million Church is the amount of profit, inducements, kickbacks or about $28 million for the PAC & $7 million for the church. Not a bad Job if you can get it.

The zinger complaining about the % of return in their FRS account contributed how much into the account? Oh, that’s right, nothing.

We’re not boycotting FSU stupid, we’re boycotting the paid for by Nike logo.

Yup, money speaks alright-but only out of one side of it’s mouth!

Trust me, when people who follow college sports hear FSU they think of Florida State University not Ferris State, or Fresno State,etc. Just having FSU on the new logo is fine.

Those who want to change the well-funded and well-managed FRS simply don’t want to be confused by the facts.

To those who keep throwing darts at Waste Pro via zing, when its freezing outside or hotter than the sun, they are picking up your garbage and recycling more than at any time in Leon county history for a ridiculous small fee.

$70.00 for THAT concert? Were the Eagles in town? Is Ron Spencer still available?

The Florida House seems to have little regard for the states commitment to it’s employee retirement system it gives cause to wonder about it’s commitment in other areas of responsibility.

The signup for Obamacare was botched under Sec Sebelius’ watch, and Obama gives her the boot. Gov Stott’s fill in at his Department of Eco­nomic Opportunity botches the rollout of a $63-mil­lion unemployment benefits system, and the legislature confirms him for a permanent position. Go figure.

How many tommy hawks does Winston get on his helmet for the Garnet and Gold game?

Mr Cotterell’s article about Democrats using the Republican’s own words to debate them is amusing, but we all know that Republicans have a short memory when the shoe is own the other foot.

With all the trash they leave behind, can Waste Pro be fined for littering?

Same reason you can buy a toilet sest just about anywhere for under $20.00 but the government pays $640.00 for one.

And marketing Big Brother says, “You will love the new logo and buy lots of merchandise!”

How come the Democrat didn’t report that there were only about 900 people at the concert at Cascades? Do you plan to report on how taxpayers will end up subsidizing the concerts and what that cost will be? Of course not.

If we’re counting on governments to control global warming, we’re doomed! Fossil fuel companies own government and will pursue profit to the very end.

Of course voter suppression favors the Republican party, why else would it be so prevalent?

Doctors can now create noses and vaginas in laboratories. May heaven help them to know the difference and place them accordingly.

Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder makes Nixon’s Attorney General John Mitchell look like a man of impeccable integrity and moral backbone.

“Demoncrats vs. Repugnacans” is a lousy reality show that needs to be cancelled.

The new Chevy SS gets 17 miles per gallon. That this is allowed is an environmental crime.

Scientists can grow vaginas in a lab. There is no comment that can be made that would be printed in Zing!

So what has been done to recover the million or so dollars fraudulently taken from city coffers a few years back under the guise of “deferred compensation” that was in actuallity a pay increase?

I will vote in 2016 for a president who will criminally prosecute the multitude of Obama appointees and staffers who have spent years violating federal law and the US Constitution, including the current oval office occupant.

Having reached the apex of achievement with the perfect storm of Obamacare, Kathleen Sebelius packed up her participation trophies and resigned, knowing no one could ever match her performance.

So new Fed chair Janet Yellen thinks low inflation is hurting the economy? Need any more proof that she and the POTUS who appointed her are morons?

Was the lady on Saturday’s cover yelling back at the FSU logo?

So far, gun company migration from anti-gun states has cost those states thousands of engineering and manufacturing jobs and tens of millions of tax dollars. But, you don’t hear that from the liberal media do you?

The only true criminal class in Florida is the Governor’s office and the state legislature.

Florida should raise the speed limit to 95 MPH so there will be more fatalities and thus Rep. Steve Stiff will have more business in his district.

The GOTP has just issued a press release saying that the people in the Red States enjoy being poor.

In LA, two of three hostages managed to flee their armed adversary but couldn’t outrun the bullets of LA deputies who shot them down in another law enforcement ooopsy.

The Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) and Generation America exist to support seniors; Obamacare advocate AARP exists to sell insurance. Check for yourself.

Do FSU new baseball uniforms come with a matching hood for when we play like we did against Notes Dame & Georgia Tech.

Like George Will, I think the advent of the tea party (lower case) movement is one of the great events of my lifetime. And the progressive/socialist administration of Barack Obama one of the worst.

Complaints about producing a photo ID to vote can be easily resolved if all states will stop requiring voter registration.

If you adhere to a higher 75 MPH limit on I-75 or I-10, stay in the right lane or you will be demolished by one of the idiots running 95 or faster.

Just a guess, but I expect around fifty states have traffic fatality rates higher than the national average.

Do traffic light cameras give cops tickets?

Seminoles are either undefeated or 0 and 1. 0 and 2 if you count the logo.

Yet another wing place across the street from yet another mattress place. Now, yet another McDonald’s across from another McDonalds. What happened to the beautiful park on Magnolia.? Oh, yes, we need more fast food jobs. Where is our dignity?

Tens of thousands at the spring game, perfect weather, sure would have been nice to enjoy Cascades park. Keep our parks free!

How to save $100 million in buildings and $15 million in yearly expenses…let the 400 FAMU engineering students transfer to FSU.

Who are these guys! The circus is over there! ….Where?

I was relieved to see the spears on the new helmets haven’t been replaced with Nike swooshes.

New uniforms AND new logo–Is nothing sacred?. What’s next–Booby Bowden Field at Dork Campbell Stadium?

If, as some believe, states should not have to obey the Federal Government (states rights), then counties don’t have to obey their state, and by extension, I don’t have to obey any authority. Hallelujah, ANARCY AT LAST

Now the new uniforms match the players tattoos.

As you consider the new FSU uniforms, consider this: the “old” uniform has won three national championships in football; the “new” uniform hasn’t won anything.

Glad that Law Prof is retired….FYI, the DOE is investigating FSU under the 1972 Educational Amendments to the Civil Rights Act,,,has NOTHING to do with violating our US Consitution but ENFORCING the LAW. Perhaps you should sit in on Policy courses taught by Social Work Faculty!

Ditto on Jameis Winston. Enough already. Give us a break.

Bill Maher has a face only a mother could love, but apparently didn’t.

Mobile devices are such a big part of the economy, we may never know why the tractor-trailer slammed into the bus.

Didn’t notice much of a change in the logo. Maybe if I stared at it like my navel…

The nay sayers on ACA remind me of Chicken Little. They think the sky whacked them on the head and they refuse to look up and see all the good things that are happening.

I predict that if FSU tweaks its new uniform in 10 years, many people will complain that we are destroying our tradition.

It is a sad state of affairs when the capital city’s newspaper thinks the introduction of new football uniforms is front page news.

Thank you to Beth Andrews for her well written letter to the editor concerning our drifting from our moral center.

Kinda like those new uniforms with the half-swastikas on the sleeve.

The new Seminole logo? I am not Happy and neither is Snow White and the other six dwarfs.

Who made the decision to change the Seminole logo? Someone in power with a cell phone and a pen?

It looks like an orthodox church heralding the gospel, the law (all of it), and the prophets. That ought to be scary to all of us.

Are the people complaining about the new FSU logo the same ones who have also had hair plugs and botox?

There’s nothing about the new Seminole logo that good losing season couldn’t change.

First Bobby, now the Logo. What’s next? The horse?

Could the person who edits the “Tune In” section of the Sports page learn to spell “Cincinnati” this year?

Raise the speed limit = population control = no pesky old folks on the road, more teenage funerals. Thanks. And what were the benefits again?

OK, Nike, we love the new uniforms. Now can we deep six the stupid black uniforms?

The new house of praise on Thomasville Rd is just another example of organized religious hypocrisy: CINO.

Tallahassee traffic lights…an excellent reason to live in Jefferson County.

Root text: The two things done by the driver of the lead car waiting on the green light.

Don’t get me started on Tallahassee traffic lights; I could Zing! for a year.

I’m so glad FSU sports has an unmistakable brand now. I kept confusing them with Gators.

are the tattoos part of the new FSU uniform or is the uniform part of the tattoos.

Our Representative’s Special Interests will be determined by American$ for (the Kohn Brother$) Pro$perity.

Never trust the Democrat’s weather predictions and just as bad are TV stations and starting times for sports events.

Why do Florida Legislators believe that Florida students can’t meet national standards?

New uniform….fine. New logo….why?

Now, what will the merchants do with all of the FSU merchandise with the “old” logo on it?

I don’t understand the hype about the new FSU uniforms. The Oregon Ducks have new uniforms every week.

I see the Noles didn’t learn the lesson from all those losses in “blackout games” since one of the new uniform combos features black shirts and black pants.

You can hit all the green lights from Killearn Lakes to Orange ave on Capital Circle if you do it at 6 am as I once did.

Forget Fear the Spear. It is now Fear the Feather.

Ignoration Tradition.

From the looks of the highlights in the hair of the new Seminole logo, do you think he and former Florida DEP Secretary, Virginia “Ginger” Wetherell, might be sharing the same hairdresser?

Hey all you marketing geniuses at FSU: remember new Coke?

News for all those marketing geniuses at FSU: don’t like the new logo; aint buying nothing with it on it.

I’m not buying any FSU new logo merchandise if it comes with a bunch of ugly tattoos.

Let’s see; less money flowing into the state retirement system as more and more publicly employed Baby Boomers move into retirement. The legislators are certainly putting in the fix, only it’s the retirees that will really be fixed as the trust fund shrinks.

Do all the new uniforms come with tattoos?

If you want to show off the new uniforms, have someone model it who doesn’t have armfuls of tattoos.

I knew they changed the logo, but when did they change the colors to red and black?

You don’t like the new logo? Don’t buy anything with the new logo on it.

The bottom line on the new logo: lots of people won’t buy anything with it on it.

It’s a little late to worry about the integrity of FSU–remember how they treated Bobby when he left.

Its bad enough that they changed the logo, why did they have to go after the uniforms?

Someone said there was a huge redfish in the photo accompanying Jerry Geradi’s Outdoor article about grouper fishing in Friday’s Democrat. I saw the photo, but somehow missed the fish.

New uniforms. I thought FSU had sworn off black uniforms. Are these from the Koch brothers, or Burt.

Bill to raise speed limits advances. What did we expect, after FHP stopped two legislators last year for speeding.

Thank you for your service, and your life saving actions, Eddie the military bomb sniffing dog. Enjoy your retirement.

I think Paul Fleming series would be more appropriately named ‘Capital Poop’.

Why not just eliminate speed limits? We know speeding kills yet few follow them and few enforce them.

FSU trying to get attention by making its’ new logo and football uniforms ugly is like a child trying to get attention by throwing a tantrum.

Nothing about the Nevada standoff in the paper. It is news and the Democrat is supposed to be a NEWS paper. Why!

Wonder what FHP thinks of the bill to raise the speed limit here in Florida? I’m sure they were told to keep their mouths shut.

Now that we have an new FSU logo, let’s go all the way and change the name of the university to Nike State.

I can’t hate a man who would say “I want to get out before do a hemorrhoid commercial.”

If the Ivanpah Solar Energy Generating System in California can fry birds in mid flight might it be repurposed as a missile defense system?

So now Transportation Security and the Air Marshal Service are running guns to political cronies? Does ATF know about and tolerate this competition in illegal gun transfers? How does Mayors Against Armed Americans feel?

LBJ signed the ’64 civil rights act, which was based on Ike’s ’57 civil rights act, and which passed with strong Republican support and strong Democrat opposition.

Democrats, like lab rats, learn quickly which lever to push to dispense more free stuff.

Keep in mind there are 5 to 10 million muslims in the US and only about 20% acknowledge support for terrorism. At most, that’s only 2 million potential car bombers sharing your streets.

As hard as it is to watch FSU baseball lose a game in person it is so much harder when they lose on TV. Can #11 keep the losing streak going until we don’t even get to go to the CWS?

Not only the College of Engineering, but FAMU *in entirety* should be absorbed into FSU. Go ahead, find a non-racist argument against such a merger.

Yukon won the championship? I didn’t realize Alaska even had a team in contention! The Huskies is a good name for them, though.

I will never ever buy anything with a “swoosh” on it again. Never!

I’m sick of all these taxpayer-funded Socialist beaches in Florida. All beaches should be privately owned and people should pay to use them.

We must never ever close any corporate tax loopholes because this would go against the teaching of true Christianity.

Why won’t this newspaper list the Florida legislative goons who are bankrolled by the millionaires and billionaires?

To paraphrase a recent Zing!, free speech applies only to conservatives and their evil views. How dare liberals have any views not sanctioned by the right-wing establishment!

I’m obviously causing a bunch of conservatives to get their panties in a wad with my Zing!s about the GOTP and religion. Mission Accomplished!

The GOTP agenda: Ship jobs to Asia, then condemn those who lost their jobs as lazy, and then deny them unemployment benefits and health care, and finally condemn them for having sex.

It is my considered opinion that if you criticize the right-wing, you should be imprisoned, maybe even executed.

Have you ever noticed that conservatives want smaller governments for the same reason criminals want fewer cops?

I favor a law prohibiting all fat folks, children, bearded bald-head Bubbas, tattooed freaks and crack-displaying males from entering any business establishment.

What hypocrisy! The conservatives scream “small government” while trying to force their brand of religion on us and to control our behavior.

The new uniforms are OK. Maybe as part of the deal they got the football coaches some jackets that aren’t raspberry.

In the wonderful world of gun owner paranoia what’s next….deer rifles on the 50 yard line?

Why do I feel under assault when the NRA & the Legislature get together.

Why isn’t the first concert, on Saturday, the “grand opening” of the new amphitheater? Country music isn’t grand enough?

Brandeis University alumni must be real proud of the university’s cave in to CAIR and retraction of the planned award of an honorary degree to Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Talk about a war on women!

Friday’s Limelight says “Charlie Wilson helps christen Cascades Park.” Will there be dunking in water or sprinkling of water? Will the Muslims and atheists come too?

When someone boasts that their 90+ year old parent is still driving I am more concerned over how well said nonagenarian drives than I am impressed that they can get behind the wheel.

time to ban kitchen knives, where’s al sharpton when you need him.

Just imagine your debit or credit card numbers hanging around some parking meter downtown for Henry the Hacker! Surely you don’t think they vanish when swiped!

Isn’t it ironic that the group backing the Steve Southerland ads is a special interest group just like the ones that they say he does not answer to? They are the Koch brothers and their Americans for Prosperity political front.

Why wasn’t the Cascades park amphitheater faced in the direction of the buildings that are mostly empty on weekends and evenings when concerts are held?

Can you believe Obama and Sebelius congratulating each other on what a great job they’re doing with Obamacare?

I think Obama had a “You’re doing a great job, Brownie” moment when he told Kathy Sebelius what a great job she did with Obamacare.

FAMU is OK with having separate universities, don’t separate the engineering schools. What’s the big deal, they got their Law School back.

For those of us who like being able to read a front page article and simply turn the paper over to the back of the section the article was written, we thank you for the “Another Busy Weekend” article on Jameis Winston.

Hey Coach Fisher, next tear do your QB a favor and schedule the Spring Game on a home baseball weekend. His frequent flyer miles may come down, but he’d probably appreciate that.

Institutions and people are not entitled to public funding. It should be earned by accountability and responsible financial management.

If an institution wants additional taxpayer funding they should demonstrate accountability and good stewardship of money already given to them.

OK. Directions to my house are as follows. Exit I-10 and go north on The Highway to Heaven for about two miles. Then turn left just after Windsor Castle and go straight to the Oxbottom Circus.

Zingers! Please learn the difference in meaning that goes with the unique spelling of the following words. There, They’re, Their. They MEAN different things. When you don’t use the correct spelling, no one knows what the heck you are trying to say. Read and Learn: They want to move there, but they’re not allowed to take their dog. Get it?
